Lander Martinez is optimistic about the possibility of reaching an agreement with the forces that currently make up El Karrikin Podemos and which together with Somar represent this political space. “It’s a Basque thing, something that allows us to make a progressive offer and that means we have to negotiate with all the actors,” he points out. He thinks they are doing a “good job.” “We spoke with Izker Anitza, Podemos and Echo,” he says. “We believe that the best thing is not to divide the space and for citizens to have one vote at the ballot boxes.”
In this sense, when asked about the divorce that occurred in the state between Podemos and Somar, he spoke of “the clear Basque exception.” “The political situation of our space and the general Basque context lead us to raise this matter,” he defends, although he criticizes the formation of Iuni Pillara, which he states gained a place in Congress “thanks to the three million people who participated in the elections.” “They voted for Sumer.” “I don’t like it, it seems negative to me,” he insists.
In this sense, he asserts that “they made a mistake because they chose the coalition, thanks to which they obtained the seats and after a short time decided to stop belonging to SUMAR and work independently. This is not a positive way to work in politics and it should not be done.”
“positive dynamic”
In Euskadi he confirms that the situation is different. He adds: “We are at a negotiating table characterized by positive dynamics,” although he realizes that there is still a lot to talk about, “starting with the assumption that Somar is the space that moves this space,” he explains.
Regarding the deadlines, Lander Martinez indicates that the idea is for everything to be closed before the end of the year, but he explains that they will allocate “the necessary time,” suggesting that the coalition, if closed, could be presented next January. Bearing in mind that there may be a possible electoral breakthrough in March.
As for who will be the candidate for Lehendakari, she does not hide that Meren Gorotxategi is Podemos’s proposal and that she herself admitted her desire to lead the list but did not want to provide more details even though she appreciates Gorotxategi’s work in the past few years, four years, especially in the field education.
Expectations
The sociometer barely gave three representatives for this space, a definite drop compared to now although he believes there is room. “I think there is a possibility to recover this political space because the voters are not very assertive, and on the other hand, because with the arrival of Soumare, a wave of projects for the progressive space has been created,” he says.
Regarding possible alliances to bring down the Philippine National Party, he lamented the position of the PSNI. “Andueza was very clear and made it clear that if they vote for them, there will be PNP governments,” he criticizes. “We will always support progressive governments, and I hope the PSNI will do that,” he adds.
